    Hi there! I'm considering this diet in addition to my normal calorie tracking/exercising.
    The hardest thing for me will be giving up chocolate treats!

    Hi, my name is Melanie. I'm 33, from PA, and have 2 kids. I lost 22 pounds on MFP by counting calories, going to the gym and doing 30DS. Around Easter I fell off track and haven't been able to really get back on. I was recently at a 31 Party and the host told us she lost 30 pounds doing the 17 Day Diet, even without excersing! I've been researching it ever since. Today I went and bought the book! I will be starting a little earlier than you, on Sunday July 29th cuz I like to start at the begining of the week. I will post my weight then.

    As of now my

    Good morning!

    I'm getting married in less than two months, and I still need to shed some pounds before then. I doubt I'll make it to my goal weight, but if I could lose at least ten before the big day, I'd be thrilled. The stress of planning doesn't help because all I want to do is eat!

    I have a friend who did the 17-day and lost 21 pounds in just over two months.

    Good luck, everyone! :)

    Day three for me too! I weighed myself this morning - even though I was going to wait for a week but I was just too curious- and I am down 4 pounds. Still struggling with the headache! It's getting a little easier even though this morning I told my dog I would sell him for a piece of toast!!
